HEALERS, MEDIUMS
MIND TRICKS and MORE
THAT CAN DIP DEEPLY
INTO YOUR WALLETS
No one is more likely to be desperate than someone who has a serious health issue...and once again faith can play a part as you saw on the John Oliver video above about the woman with cancer, but it is not just faith healers... but let's start this brief section with an EX -FAITH HEALER telling you what they do.
Ex- FAITH healer tells the tricks of the trade
British Illusionist Derren Brown had a wonderful show on faith healer and some of their tricks that you can find on You Tube Miracles for Sale. In that video, Derren takes a few months to turn a 33 year old scuba diver into a convincing "faith healer"
Whether or not people actually have these types of authentic talents must be questioned. But, it is something that you should be cautious of. Like all the above, they can prey on the desperate, the gullible for their personal financial gain. So, when they start asking for YOUR MONEY.. you need to be cautious and if you know someone who is currently using their money for this... you'd being doing a good deed by simply asking them to review this entire section as well as the site.
Derren is great if you don;t know him. Videos of his shows in England, his on-stage work are all over You Tube. I've only shown you the tip of his ICEBERG of work on this site,His talents are spooky and convincing. I contend Derren is a better Christian than any prosperity preacher even though Derren says he is an atheist. Derren proves over and over again the power that exists in our own minds that can lead us astray of financial sanity.
HOW MUCH OF YOUR MONEY /
YOUR FAMILY'S INHERITANCE
WOULD YOU SPEND IF YOU THOUGHT
IT MIGHT EXTEND YOUR LIFE?
Stem Cell Fraud - A 60 Minutes Investigation
No one likes to think that they would fall for either of the above, but many people do including Andy Kaufmann who played Latka on the comedy Taxi in the late 1970's and early 1980's who went to see someone like what James Randi showed to cure his cancer.back in the 1980's Andy died in 1984. He was just age 35.
Desperation leads to people handing a lot of their money over to charlatans including faith healers. While it is true medical science makes occasional amazing advances ... if it does, it generally is not a secret and can easily be researched. While prayer and faith has at times led to amazing turnarounds... the turnaround is not based on the amount of money or even any money you might tithe or give in offerings.
Robertson County Family Becomes Victim of Go Fund Me Scam
STREET SCAMS and GO FUND ME
Having been the victim of some sob stories in my time and heard of street scams like those in the video below they typically won;t cost you too much, but they victimize you and could harden your heart somewhat ..so like with charities and foundations ... be careful ...as for GO FUND ME... there are many legitimate causes.... but there are some very dubious ones too....like the heartwarming story of the homeless doing something kind for a NJ couple and very quickly they raise over $400,000 only to find out it was a scam the three had cooked up .... but many, many others... and when you hear one for a significant health problem ... and you see large 5 or 6 figure or even a 7 figure goal ... remember... no one in this country including illegals is denied health care to the best of my knowledge ...and NO ONE needs that amount of money even for an act of heroism raised within days or even weeks of the incident. HOLD back... make some notes... make an inquiry on the story and find out down the road where you can send a direct contribution. WHETHER IT IS IMPULSE PURCHASING or APPEALS WHERE WE HAVE NO ACCOUNTING OF ... it is best to keep your emotions in check,,,
Fske Homeless People Caught On Camera
PSYCHICS and OTHERS WILL DO THERE BEST
TO GET YOUR MONEY IN ANY WAY THEY CAN
Here's Derren Brown one last time in these videos making you question whether or not they are frauds or if he is the devil who can do just about anything
***************************************
- Who knows what you want done with your body should you die today... Are they near by where you are? These kind of things are usually taken care of before any will is read.
- Using insurance money is using discounted money and is usually available within a few days to no more than a month from time of notification
- Don't forget other costs like final medical expenses to owed and other costs you may want to provide for (education of children, income replacement) plus attorney fees
Most of my family has chosen cremation and I have chosen to have my body used as a cadaver for young doctors to practice on. I have already discussed my plans with my children, written instructions down and have those plans easily accessible for them and I was counting on my daughter to take charge ... but she has since moved 400 miles away...so, my son who is still close by will need to take charge. More than a few funeral homes have up sold and charged for more expensive coffins and then buried the deceased in a much less expense coffin. They have taken jewelry off the dead, added a second person by cutting a body up to fit two in one coffin and sold body parts off the dead..... All this can cost a family up to thousands or even $10,000's more than necessary and caused families much grief if they find out.
PRE-PLANNING may sound like a good idea to take some of the burden off the survivors, but it is no guarantee you will get what you pay for.....I DO NOT recommend it. Ask yourself this .. If Glenn (me) prepays a funeral home in Harrisburg, Pa. where I live, but I die while in California, Ohio, Hawaii or Europe... what then? What if the funeral home I prepaid with goes out of business? .
My Dad use to say "Stick a bone up my ass and put me out in the trash" He was cremated and they had a service and his 2nd wife had his ashes put in a urn and stored at his church. Have no idea of the cost, but it had to be more than my Mom.. also cremated, ashes put in a simply box, and I scattered the ashes at a place where he found jo. She had pre-paid and her attorney too care of the details... but add-in his costs ,,,and the fact that I was the only person who came to view her body...so there was an expensive cost just for me. ..it all adds up. Don't get me started on attorneys,,, Let's just say the money he made from my mother's estate was on par with what each of us three kids received .. I started calling him UNCLE PAUL.
I have one client who was still paying for her brother's headstone years after his death, It's your choice but without adequate insurance and without making your wishes known ,,, money that could be used to help your survivors, a church or a charity goes wasted.
MORE DERREN BROWN
Derren has also used his abilities to teach people some amazing things to make money ..including some legitimate ways, Here's one that should be legitimate IN MY OPINION, but casinos don't always see it that way
